Can you imagine the future by intuiting, through smell, its shape, its colors, its sounds? At the Villa we try! We will blindfold all the participants who will be called to guess, thanks to the smell, the aromatic plants that are part of the project of requalification of the Park, discovered in the nineteenth-century archives. Prepare the nose! We already smell the future!
